Hakan Duran" To: "Mark Ovens" Subject: International keyboard and modem problem Date: Sun, 26 Dec 1999 22:58:44 +0200 Hi Mark! You have helped me on a Goldstar CD-ROM problem (the system did not recognize it) a couple of weeks ago. By your suggestions, I've managed to solve the problem. I connected it to the middle port of the first IDE as slave and the problem was over! Since then I had time to install kde 1.1.2 package which is much familiar to a person like me who is quite accustommed to Windows environment and configured my "own" kernel with a splash screen (even in VESA mode!), also configured my sound card. It is quite amazing to be able to build a kernel and watch the compilation process even though I don't understand much of it. Now I have some more problems which I hesitated to share with "FreeBSD-questions" because I think those problems should be discussed before. I searched for the topics in www and mail archives but I could not find a practical explanation. Now I decided to ask to you, if you do not mind. 1. I set Turkish keyboard as the first choice in kde. But everytime I logout of kde, I see several lines reporting error about the keyboard: "KiKbd: X11 error: BadWindow (Invaild window parameter). Am I doing something wrong or deficient? 2. I have a modem (Wisecom) capable of 56000 bps data transfer. It is on Com 4 (sio3, cuua3) with an irq 3. I compiled the kernel with the line: "device sio3 at isa? port ....... tty irq3 vector siointr" Then I ran kppp, added a new account. First, modem could not be initialized. I changed the line return option from "CR" to "LF", then to "CR/LF" and overcame the problem. Then modem dialled the number of ISP, I could hear the modems handshaking while "expecting CONNECT" was written in log window, everything arrested again. So far, I have never been able to establish a connection even though I can HEAR a successful handshaking. I changed various parameters including chap, pap, script-based, and connection speed but I could not establish a real coonection. Furthermore, I noticed that everytime I logout and relogin kde, line return option of kde should be manipulated as mentioned above to get a response from the modem. I also noticed an error massage after login out kde reporting "Date+Time /kernel: sio3: 1 more silo overflow (total n). I can easily get connected to my ISPs (I have currently 3) by windows dial-up without any script, just by userID and password written in the dialog. 3. In one of the literature I read, there is a line to add to .xinitrc file for kde: "setenv KDEDIR /usr/local" I wrote it down like this: "setenv /usr/local/bin" where my kde is installed. But there is also an error message reporting "setenv: not found" while starting X. I think I made something wrong. 4 (and the last). I can not run xdm. If I do it, the system halts after a short interval of X session. I know I should prepare an .xsession file, but I don't know where to and how to prepare it. Thank you very much for your patience.
